Griffin SO, Jones K, Tomar SL. An economic evaluation of community water fluoridation. Journal Public Health Dentistry 2001;61(2):78-86

• Annual per person cost savings resulting from fluoridation ranged from $15.95 in very small communities to $18.62 in large communities
• On the basis of the most current data available on the effectiveness and cost of fluoridation, caries increment, and the cost and longevity of dental restorations, we find that water fluoridation offers significant cost savings.
